After a few webinars and attending trainings at the GoingOn offices I
was ready to begin the build-out phase. I chose to concentrate on the
areas that would provide the most direct benefit to students while also
engaging them in a meaningful way. A few key needs were

Getting information about student services such as financial aid to more students in a timely way.

Creating
a platform for crowdsourcing, i.e students can help each other and
answer their peers commonly asked but important questions without the
need to visit an office or wait in a line

Provide a resource for
students to develop critical 21st century skills such as systems
thinking, information technology proficiency, and even web site and blog
design concepts
